Looks like VH1 is teaming up with the Queen!

The network has picked up Queen Latifah's movie and eight episode dramedy Single Ladies.

The show stars Stacey Dash from Clueless, and it's being billed as a "relationship, comedic drama set in the world of Atlanta fashion, music, and celebrity."

Here's more from the press release:

"Single Ladies" is a comedic drama about Val, Keisha, and April - three best friends with different philosophies on sex and relationships. Val (Stacey Dash) is an ambitious aspiring fashion mogul who wants to find a true partner. Keisha (LisaRaye McCoy), on the other hand, is a former video dancer just looking for a rich man to keep her in style. April (Charity Shea,) has supposedly found the perfect man and the perfect marriage - but is learning that marriage isn't necessarily a happy ending. "Single Ladies" is a modern, sexy series set in the world of Atlanta fashion, music, and celebrity that will constantly explore which woman has the right approach to relationships.

The show will be written by The Wanda Sykes Show writer Stacey Littlejohn, and it's being directed by Tamra Davis, of Grey's Anatomy and Ugly Betty fame.

Here's more on the project from VH1's EVP of Original Programming and Production, Jeff Olde:

"This movie and now the series is the perfect way for VH1 to jump into the scripted arena. It taps directly into relationship issues and life questions that we know our audience loves, and it does it via a gorgeous, funny, diverse and talented cast of strong female characters. Their complex lives and loves play out against a super hip Atlanta backdrop which is sure to be a character in the movie. Once we saw an early cut of the movie we knew right away we needed to make this a series."

Here's a statement by Queen Latifah from a press release:

"My partner Shakim and I are excited to collaborate with VH1, as they have a similar vision on how to bring this show to life. I think Single Ladies will really fill a hole in what is needed on television today."

Sounds like this def has potential to become a hit.

Will U tune in for Single Ladies on VH1?

Our dreams are coming true!!

Dolly Parton is returning to the big screen in Joyful Noise, along side Queen Latifah.

The film will be a gospel-choir feature and will be written by Bandslam and Camp's Todd Graff.

The story is said to be centered around an "unlikely partnership between two strong-minded women who are forced to work together to save a small town gospel choir after budget cuts threaten to shut them down."

We are so excited about Dolly acting again!! And with a gospel choir! Hallelujah!

Ooh la la!

Queen Latifah and her girlfriend and personal trainer Jeanette Jenkins were seen getting cozy aboard a yacht in France alongside newlyweds Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz.

We guess good friends honeymoon together!

As we had predicted….

Artist/producer Swizz Beatz made Alicia Keys an honest woman by marrying her in Corsica, France over the weekend.

The couple walked down the aisle in front of VIP guests such as Bono and Queen Latifah.

5-month pregnant Alicia wore a flowing white gown with a headband, while Swizz wore a white tuxedo and bow tie.

The couple's baby is due in November.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
